Just being Hizzoner

I have a party of five today. They work for the American Cancer Society. They've been talking about personal things for awhile.

One man talked about how nice his house is since he installed different temperature zones. His bedroom is nice and toasty but he feels bad for his dog in the cold downstairs. I thought about how my own house attempted to not use the heat to save money. He was probably saving a bundle by being able to afford zoned heating.

Later the woman on the right said, "I grew up surrounded by culture." That made me think of my upbringing in Farmersville and the amount of culture. Is my upbringing not as valid as hers because it wasn't cultured.

They eventually talked about the problems with health care in America and ways we can fix it. They talked about how horrible it must be to not get proper health care. And I thought that maybe instead of having a bunch of rich white people sitting in Chili's, decided what to do with health care, maybe the people that need it should decided what to do. But alas that is probably a silly idea. That would be as crazy as rich people getting free stuff and tax breaks.
